shrimp and pasta
(2 ratings)
I had the challange of making a pasta dish that was waist friendly and not using cream or butter. YIKES!!! I came up with this delish version of a higher calorie dish using shrimp stock instead of butter and cream. Lots of flavor, not so many calories. This has about 11 WW points per serving.
